Yeah, it says Feb 10, 2010. I think it's just something they missed when they recycled the text from the previous year. Anyway, I assumed that the deadline is Feb 10, 2011. Hope I am right.

I see mine says Feb 17, but I am concerned since I might not hear back from my R2 s by that date.

I visited UC Irvine during the fall, and had a fantastic visit. The class I sat in on was about the professors' experience coaching an executive through a period of restructuring, and the quality of the lecture was good. Students were friendly and seemed pretty on the ball as well. Campus was very nice, although I felt there were some tacky street names (Harvard, Berkeley, and Stanford street)! The campus was full of energy with lots of undergrads. Weather is great in OC, of course. Lots of strong companies in the area. Would definitely recommend Merage to others.

Hope for the best, jiyo. My application is still incomplete because of the transcript. If you don't mind, could you please share your interview experience? Who interviewed you? What questions did he/she ask you? Thanks

When I got the interview invite email, I could choose the date and interviewer online. My interviewer was the Associate Director. They set up a meeting with the student on the interview day.

On my application, I said I wanted to change my career path by earning an MBA degree so she asked me a lot of questions about my goal. What kind of role do you want to do after the program? How does your current work affect your goal?
Another was if there was any current campaign going on that interests me (I said my new interest was marketing field)
I also had to explain how I got my past experience jobs and how the jobs were like.

My profile: 3.0 at big public undergrad, 710, 2 yrs WE in accounting

hope this helps...

Thanks jiyo7, that definitely helps. I am also interested in marketing.
Your statistics seem better than mine. Good luck to both of us!
